Angels select Janson Junk, release Jose Iglesias

[BTH]

The person who is reporting this covers the Yankees AA team that Junk was on before he was dealt to the Angels.

Do we have a full scouting report on Junk? 

[Blarg]

Well, you know the old saying. One man's junk is another man's relief pitcher.

He had the 8 innings perfect game recently for RCT, before allowing 3 baserunners in the 9th.

[Puget Sound Angel]

That's really his name?

[tdawg87]

I can't wait for the absolutely hilarious jokes about his name.

[Angel Oracle]

AO not needed for coming up with gloss, the name offers so many possibilities.

[Lou]

Janson is a stupid name.

I only found this in the 2017 amateur draft scouting report. 

Ranked #395 prospect in 2017 draft
Junk is a power-armed righty who didn't have a great year statistically (6-7, 5.92), but there are teams who might be interested enough in the stuff to take a flyer on him. His fastball has sat 94-96 mph at its best in shorter stints, though it can be flat. His average changeup has some tumble, but his breaking ball remains below-average.

He must have come a long way with his changeup and breaking ball since his predraft scouting report because he's looked great this season.

This guy has 2 first and last names.

It’s weird he’s coming up tomorrow, why not bring him up to start a game?  

[Angels 1961]

Usher in 241 has heard nothing about Junk. 

[AngelStew43]

Someone will call him a Junkballer.

If he stinks on his first outing someone will post “yep, he’s junk”
